Overcoming urban power distribution challenges with technological innovations
The
people responsible for managing urban electric utilities are presented with a
set of special challenges beyond those that face managers of suburban or rural
substations. There are few pieces of distribution equipment designed specifically
to meet the needs of urban substations. However, some technologies deliver
solutions that are especially valuable to this market. >> Discover suggested solutions to resolve the challenges of safety, increased power requirements, right of way and cost in urban substations.

Microgrids: weathering the storm
If there’s a bright side to events like
Superstorm Sandy, it is the wakeup call it provides to utilities, regulators,
and communities, alerting them to the need to modernize the power grid to
improve stability and reliability and harden it against disasters, both natural
and man-made. One such solution is the microgrid, small, self-sufficient power
grids that serve a group of consumers such as a university campus, military
base, or municipality. The microgrid can draw power from the main grid or it
can operate in “island-mode”, where it neither draws power from the main grid
nor supplies power to it. >> Learn how microgrids ensure safe and reliable power to communities and industry, even in the face of disaster.
